The Travel Thread

I tried doing a search for the obvious terms, so if there's already a thread for this, fuck you anyway.

Let us know where you're going (aside from festivals, which all pretty much have their own threads), and maybe people can provide advice on things to do, sites to see, etc, plan meet ups, provide places to crash, guide you towards good cheap restaurants/bars. Or tell us about where you just went and how awesome/horrible it was. Post pictures.

I'm heading to Chicago this weekend (probably Thurs 3/26-Sun 3/29). I'm crashing with a good friend who lives there, and I've been there twice before, so I'm sure I won't have too much problem filling up time, but is there anything cool I should make sure to check out?

Re: The Travel Thread

oooh i will be there too... very cool!!!

I have no other travel plans for awhile, I did just spend a weekend in LA/San Diego and had a blast. I am hoping that I will be able to make that trip again in May or June. Other then that I will be stuck at home dreaming about next years coachella.

Re: The Travel Thread

in june i will be heading out to muncie indiana to visit a dear friend. she goes to ball state college and i miss her like crazy. we're hanging out there for a night then driving to chicago for the weekend.
let me know whats up.

Re: The Travel Thread

I don't have too many major trips coming up. We'll be going back to Mammoth the weekend after the 4th of July. Mammoth is the BEST during the summer.

Then we'll be going to Bend, Oregon in August.

Next summer I'm hoping to be able to arrange a trip with my husband and daughter to Europe. We'd like to go to Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Dublin, parts of Germany etc. I've been to these places and LOVED them. Of course this venture will be very different than when I was 22 and traveling alone. Now, I'd like to experience it with my family. Izzy will be 5 by then and I anticipate her being a fantastic travel companion.

I live in the Chicago area, whenever i venture into the city i'm always clueless on what to do. So if you find anything cool to do, LET ME KNOW.
This time of year is kind of an awkward time anyway.
The field museum is always cool though.

I have now been on the phone with Orbitz for one hour and twenty minutes, trying to correct a one letter typographical error in one of my daughters' names on our flights for family vacation this summer.

so yeah. This finally got resolved today. I fixed the one-letter typographical error in my daughter's name. It only cost me $400. Motherfuckers. I am composing my letter to Orbitz, United, and Lufthansa now. cc: Travel & Leisure, Conde Nast, and I dunno who else. Probably will get me nowhere but I gotta vent.
